Solo ride over to the Shell station on Via Rancho Pkwy to meet up with Avi Halpern for a Friday afternoon ride. We headed over to Citracado Pkwy via Felicita Rd and some back neighborhood roads, two of which were really steep for short stretches. Just before we got onto Citracado Pkwy was the highest point of the ride, by the way. Then we headed over to Harmony Grove Rd, taking it, with a steady headwind to Elfin Forest Rd and then into San Elijo Hills. I did okay on the climbs here, not great but feeling pretty good. Hooked back up with Avi at the turnaround point, and we headed back, enjoying the downhill and then getting pushed by the tailwind to make the gradual climb back into Escondido easier. We turned on Valley Pkwy and rode back by Avi's house before I continued home the normal way from there. I couldn't keep my pace above 10 mph on the climb just past the freeway but kept it above 10 mph on the little climb on Aguamiel Rd. Nice temperature on this ride.
